Using TypeScript with React
Add TypeScript to React, convert a JS app and add runtime type safety with Zod.
React is 100% JavaScript, and JavaScript is a dynamically typed language: a variable's type is determined implicitly at assignment. This can lead to unexpected behavior.
TypeScript solves these problems by detecting errors at compile time, before code is even executed. Editors like VS Code leverage these types to provide IntelliSense (auto-completion, real-time error detection).
